10 SEP 2024 · When a medical error occurs, it is critical that we view the error through the lens of empathy and Just Culture. This includes errors that have made national headlines.
Welcome to Episode 35. How can a surgeon remove someone's liver thinking it is a spleen that is so diseased that it was four times bigger than normal and it had moved to the other side of his body? In this episode, we discuss the unbelievable case of William Bryan who went into the hospital for left-sided flank pain and ultimately died on the OR table after Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky allegedly transected the major vasculature supplying the liver.

27 AUG 2024 · I wanted her to know I'm a person, not just a name on a paper..." These are the words of Sharon Holmes, a breast cancer survivor who initially had a "normal" mammogram, but three months later discovered she had stage II breast cancer. How is this possible? Unfortunately, Sharon was not alone.
Welcome to Episode 33 where we discuss the unbelievable case of Rachel Rapraeger, a mammography technician whose decisions and actions would negatively impact over 1000 women, including two women who likely died because their breast cancer wasn't caught soon enough. Because Rachel saw the women who entrusted her with their care as a number, or a backlog of cases, rather than human beings, she didn't "fully consider the consequences" of her decisions and actions. Depersonalization can kill and unfortunately, justice wasn't served for Rachel's Victims.
